jenkins java.outofmemory:permGen space error

[varghese]

 While doing build, i am started getting this error,
i increased the heap size and permgen size to 1024 and 512 mb respectively in catalina_opts and java_opts.Still i am getting this error. I have searched so many blogs, not able to find proper solution.
I am using ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
Heap Dumb i am getting is nearly 600mb for each build..
I am runnning jenkins on tomcat server..while debuging tomcat itself i am getting outofmemory.
Jenkins version is 1.447.1
Is there any fix available for this..
Please reply soon...Very urgent


Thanks

Hi,
is this failure of one particular build or whole Jenkins? Do you increase
pergem size for jenkins of in setup of the build?

No, the whole project i am building. i am using 1.447.1 version for jenkins. i increased the permGen size till 512mb..
Still i am getting this error..getting heap size more than 500mb.

[Vojtech Juranek]

you have to setup permgen size in project config page. The permgen size
specified in catalina opts for jenkins applies only to jenkins server itself
and doesn't affect permgen size of built project - it run in different JVM

In jenkins Whether any config file related to project? I am not getting you which project config file you are mentioning?

I mean job configuration page, i.e. $JENKINS_URL/job/$JON_NAME/configure
Lets assume it a maven project. In "Advanced" section, there's a MAVEN_OPTS
field. You need to specify JVM setup there, e.g. put -XX:MaxPermSize=512M there
if you want it to be applied during maven build

Thank you so much vjuranek..At last my build is successful..As you are a redhat engineer one doubt.. Usually we can run kill as sudo kill -9 pid
But inside the shell script while running it's saying operation not permited..how can simulate sudo inside a shell script?
i started shell for continous integration yesterday...



Thanks,
Regards

[Stanley, Jason]

Inside your shell script, just enter the following:

 

sudo <command>

#!/bin/sh
pid=$(pidof postgres)
echo $pid
kill $pid
pg_ctlcluster 8.4 main start


I am doing only this much of thing ...in command prompt i used sudo kill manullay...
but in shell while i executing it's saying operation not permitted
kill : 4 : operation not permitted..
i assume this is some permission problem..How can i resolve that?

[Stanley, Jason]

I am assuming the kill command is failing.

 

Outside of your script, if you have sudo setup correctly, the user who is running the script should be able to run the command:

 

sudo kill <pid #>

 

If that fails, you need to fix the sudoers configuration.

 

In your script, just add ‘sudo’ to the kill command.

 

#!/bin/sh
pid=$(pidof postgres)
echo $pid
sudo kill $pid
pg_ctlcluster 8.4 main start

 

Same goes for the pg_ctlcluster command if sudo needs to get called for that.

 Actually this shell script is working if i execute like bash killpostgres.sh
But inside the jenkins it's showing error like

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

Ah…I encountered this same problem.

 

In my environment, I have the master/slave configuration.

 

For a workaround, I had Jenkins call this script on the slave machine.

 

For example, let’s call your script pg_cluster.sh

 

I would place this script on the slave machine and in my Jenkins job, I issued the following command:

 

ssh <slave machine> pg_cluster.sh

Ok..but i don't have any slave. i am doing it in master only.
i will start it as a new thread..

[Stanley, Jason]

The problem is with sudo being called in Jenkins.

 

You don’t need a slave to workaround this problem…..just call the script located on the master from your Jenkins job.

I guess turning off tty (at least on RHEL like distors switched on by default)
should solve the problem, just comment line
Defaults    requiretty
in /etc/sudoers
Of course you should have setup sudo not to ask passwd (NOPASSWD option)

Actually i am calling like bash -ex killpostgres.sh
killpostgres.sh is in my project directory.
sudo is inside the shell script
sudo kill $pid

[Stanley, Jason]

In your Jenkins job…enter the following in the script section and then run the job.

 

/path/to/script/killpostgres.sh

 

 

Change /path/to/script to reflect your project directory.

I commented Defaults tty so it is showing

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.

when i uncomment it

sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo


What can i do?

[varghese]

Yeah, i changed like /usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/Eulen/killpostgres.sh , still i am getting tty not present error and no askpass program specifed.

 

[Sami Tikka]

You should open a terminal application and enter this command: man sudo

You have problems because your sudo is configured to require a password for the user who is executing sudo.
